Chapter 455
Jessica and Trish were both stunned , unable to fully grasp the dark truth that had just been revealed to them . They had no idea about the hidden history of Jerry’s death , and now , as they learned that it had been a conspiracy within their own family , their faces turned pale .
It wasn’t out of sympathy for Jerry . After all , they had no real affection for him .
They simply felt comered .
Trish , her voice shaking , asked , “ You all killed Uncle Jerry ! What are we supposed to do now ? Wendy’s avenging him , and now she’s demanding the killer be handed over . Our family is doomed ! ”
and all of
Jessica collapsed onto the couch , her head spinning . “ How did this happen ? Now Wendy’s targeting us , and you are the murderers ! Do you think Wendy’s going to take down our entire family ? ”
Trish shook her head in disbelief . “ Wendy’s not the same person she was before . She’s Dr. Ceylan now , a miracle doctor . She’s no longer just some useless housewife from the countryside . She’s powerful . ”
Jessica , her heart racing , grasped at her chest . “ What do we do ? What can we do ? My heart condition is getting worse . If Wendy doesn’t help me , am I just counting down my days ? ”
For Jessica and Trish , their survival came first . They weren’t thinking about anyone else’s fate – just their own . The revelation about Wendy being Dr. Ceylan was a blow to Trish , especially after being forced to bow to her publicly . She could hardly process the shock.
Jessica , on the other hand , was more concerned with her deteriorating health . Wendy had crushed all her hopes , and she could feel it slipping away .
The entire Crone family was in shock . No one had ever expected Wendy to become such a formidable force .
Why must Wendy be Dr. Ceylan ?
Edith turned to Jessica , her face grim . “ Jessica , we need to get Mr. Hawk involved . You need to ask him to help us . ”
Mentioning Stanley made Jessica’s teeth clench , her resentment bubbling up . “ Grandma , you saw how Stanley treats me . He won’t help us . ”
Edith’s frustration boiled over . “ What happened to the two shining gems of the Crone family ? I see nothing but useless stones now ! Not one of you is half as useful as Wendy ! I should have kept Wendy by my side all those years ago . ”
Jessica’s eyes burned with tears , feeling helpless and crushed under the weight of her grandmother’s words .
Harry and Lilian , seeing Jessica in such distress , took her home . As soon as she sat on the couch , tears streamed down her face .
“ Mom , Dad , what am I supposed to do now ? It feels like Stanley’s heart belongs to Wendy now . Not only am going to lose Stanley , but my health is failing too . I’m so scared ! I can’t lose everything ! ”

At first , Jessica lund been Stanley’s golden girl , the prima ballerina who stood at the top of the world . She had looked down on Wendy , but slowly , as Wendy’s power and abilities grew , Jessica felt herself pushed further and further down . Wendy seemed unstoppable now , and Jessica was left feeling utterly powerless ..
Lilian , heartbroken , pulled Jessica into her arms . “ Don’t be afraid , Jessica . You still have me . ”
She turned to Harry , her voice filled with urgency . “ Harry , say something . Look at Jessica – she’s in tears ! You must have some way to help her , right ? ”

Jessica , her eyes swollen with tears , looked up at Lilian . “ Mom , do you really think Dad can help us ? ”
Lilian nodded . “ Yes . If your father wants to , he can fix this . ”
Desperate , Jessica grabbed onto Harry . “ Dad , do you have a plan ? Please , help me ! Aren’t I your real daughter ? I’m losing everything . You have to help me ; I don’t want to die , and I don’t want to lose Stanley ! ”
Harry looked torn , his heart aching for his daughter . Of course , he would do anything for Jessica , she was the one he loved most in this world .
He placed a comforting hand on her back . “ No one loves you more than I do . I will help you , but I need some time to think this through . ”
